Spent 1 hour on the Phone with Richard Astrom,CEO of PRRM! PRRM I just spent an hour on the phone with Richard Astrom the CEO of PRRM he said the REGDEX filing was actualy a Form 504 filing. I have added up the total sales at the bottom PPS on all days since 6/9/04 and my best guess says they have sold very close to all of the 504 shares at this time and I will be looking for a bounce due to demand when the 504 is done!

Sounds almost like legal loan sharking. I don't mean that in a negative light either. They appear to be one of those sub prime lenders and if they can capture enough market share they can be wildly profitibale. Gonna keep my eye on this one! IP: Logged |

Hi Rick - Nice job. One thing though; are you SURE he said 20 POINTS???? 20% ?? $40,000.00 on a $200,000.00 loan? I would think that 20 points would violate the FL usury laws. They have REALLY cracked down on Auto Title Loans and Pay Day Loans from places like Check Cashing Stores that charge interest at the rate of "Two arms if you repay by Thursday - and both legs if it takes 'til Saturday" ! Not quite - but almost. I have many friends down here in So. FL who are "Hard Money Lenders", and have even lent some out myself. But we USUALLY NEVER charge more than 3 Points (3%) - and usually have no pre-payment penalty. We have about 8 good-size Real Estate Investor Clubs down here - with probably 60 "Hard Money" men (and women)- and THAT's the norm. We get the same 12-15% APR and will only lend a MAXIMUM of 65% LTV. That part I agree with. We can do a deal almost "overnight"! We're lending on the value of the property in case we have to take it back and resell it - NOT on the person OR his/her credit. This is really nothing more than "bridge" money for Real Estate 'flips' or Purchase/Rehabs, and people don't keep the money out for more than 2-4 months, on average. Hence - the NEED for the 'points' (1 pt. = 1% of the loan). Good Luck! PS: It's GREAT to have you back posting again.

I may have herd him wrong if 20 points is in fact not possible, or I may have taken his comment out of context. I was typing from notes and memory and don't have the amount of points writen down. He may have said that Hard Money borrower would pay 20 points just to get what they need! I'm glad you are calling him because the notes will be compairable after your call! thanks rick IP: Logged |

Good find rick. I saw it falling and bought a modest amount at .005, and was sick. Then I saw your thread here, and averaged down to .0007. I don't think this news will give it a pop yet, but looks like he's done a very positive thing. Bet it makes you feel good that the guy followed up on your NE expansion suggestion, good job. quote: IP: Logged |

Yes Will, it does! He had asked me where I was from and what the RE market was like and I told him I was from MA and that RE values were up as much as 20% over 20% in my area. I guess he got right on the phone or he was very surprized that we were on the same track one or the other! Either way this is great news for those buying at this level! Can't wait till they find and he PRs the actual aquisition targets, that should be real sweet for us! Rick IP: Logged |

Heres what I think! Those 40m shares were mostly me buying and WIEN droping off the bid was very significant! I called WIEN today and spoke with Larry Wien himself about PRRM! He reafirmed the 504 for $1m and WIEN is the MM handling the dependiture for $1. I asked him how close they were to completing the sale and of course he didn't give me an answer, but something told me they were very close to completing it! Not even 5 minutes after I hung up the phone WEIN droped off the ask and placed an ask of .001. Tomorrow we should know if the dependiture is done or not.

Another record volume day today! Shares traded since 7/19 1,981,155,000 Cash value calculated at the low of the day $1,061,102.91 The Regdex 504 dependiture for $1 million dollars was filed on 6/9/04 Between 6/9 and 7/5, 72 million shares traded at an average of .01 or $720,000.00 (Some traded much higher) Between 7/6 and 7/16 when volume moved way up! 67 million shares traded at an average of .004 or $268,000.00 Very interesting that the cash generated from trading between 6/9 when the 504 was filed and 7/16 when volume picked up was $988,000,00 Just $12,000.00 under the total of the 504 filing! In any case $1,708,000.00 is the cash generated from sales since the filing! My guess is that the 504 is done and that the shares are just being moved around to make it appear that it is not done for some reason! Maybe to shake out weak hands, so that larger investers can accumulate at this much lower level! I'm not sure! I do know however that I wont be shaken below a 125% gain on my investment, and even then I will hold on to 10s of millions of free shares! Good Luck All! IP: Logged |

Rickpic - I took a look a the property in AK. I don't mean anything by this, but the word cheese comes to mind. I agree if they get a hold of a company up here in the NE they'll have a good chance to make some cash. Do you feel the property selections that Tampa will make in the future will make inverstors more secure in their investment? I'm thinking on putting some money into this, but hoping for .0001.

OK guys Im not clarivoiant! I can't predict the future! I'll say this much though. I'm in @.0003906 and didn't get any today @.0002 I wasn't around to catch the bargain, but I would have bought all 150 million shares that traded @.0002 if I had been! Now that thats said! Prime isn't buying the properties they are Making Hard Money, High Interest Loans on these properties at 15% and high closing costs. The revenue is not from realestate, its from interest and finance costs, not unlike a bank but with higher yields! As for the PPS drops, it due to the $1 million dollar dependiture being issued and not yet being complete! I would hope its almost done and then we will see a rise with the next PR! I hope they find a target Mortgage Broker to take over in NE soon as that will be a payday for anyone buying way down here at this level, also dont forget the 1 to 10 FS thats coming 9/1 as we get closer to that date thing should also get good! It means almost 5 million free shares for me! My feeling is that big money has been buying up the low PPS shares and that they will hold for PR and the split! It may take a few more weeks, but hang in there its coming!

I'm hoping for the same rick. I tried all day to buy a million at .0002, and have a GTC for a million at .0001, never filled Friday. I either want to buy more at .0001 / .0002, or sell some at .0007. I think it will take one promising PR to make this move up a bit. If it even has a small run to between .0007 - .001, it will retrace for another buying opportunity. Looks like a good one to swing and hold free shares before 9/1.

It means for every 10 shares you own you will own 11 after the dividend! It becomes a 10% increase in your holdings of the company and any future aquisitions ,loan income they produce! This company is building on a very bright looking future! IMO! Rick IP: Logged |

Do you feel with the dependiture as well as the dilution after 9/1 that this thing will get to .0001? I figured if I buy 5k worth now @.0002 then after 9/1 I'll have total worth of 2750....if it goes to .0001. If that's true then I may just wait until the forward split. IP: Logged |

There is 11.4 million dollars in PRRM at this time. $6m to Viyon Corp for aquisition (was MMLD) $2m to National Hospitalities Group Inc as a revolving creadit line. $1m to The Sanibel Group for aquisitions. and the most recent $1m to Royal Arkansas Hotel and Suites Inc for renovations at a $400k return to PRRM $1m from the recent 504 dependiture! I didn't even add in the income from the first 3 loans, because the terms were not PRed yet! But I assume that they are issued at a minimum of 15% over at least 2 years with points and early out penalties! I assume that the O/S is around 1.5bb at this time and if I divide that by 11.4 million, I'd say its a very safe play at this time.

The numbers I am watching for here today are 100mm traded because 150mm were bought I believe by MMs on friday at .0002 and at 100mm they would be even selling back at .0003, but if it stay at .0003 past that the next number I'd guess may pop the PPS is 150mm shares traded, that would tell me that almost all shares bought at .0002 friday have been sold back into the market at a profit and the base price would then be .0003 again!
